In May, she revealed her 19-year-old daughter Leah had been admitted to hospital after suffering an allergic reaction to nuts in a yoghurt. 

‘She had an anaphylaxis episode. She was jabbed with her Epipen. Now we are sitting in hospital waiting until the doctors are happy she’s ok to go home. Very scary,’ she explained in a post on Instagram at the time. 

‘My heart is still racing. People with allergies always be aware. We should have been more careful, knowing that Leah is allergic to nuts. Get well my darling daughter. I love you so much.’
